Nico had his very first Christmas yesterday, and although he is too young to realise it, he was absolutely spoilt in the way of presents.
We had Christmas Eve dinner at Oma place as we do almost every year, and the table was magnificent, as always. As soon as we arrived, Ji-Hye snatched Nico (well OK. Bas dumped him in her arms) and retreated to the lounge, leaving Mum and Dad free to enjoy a drink or two. Holding Nico was also beneficial to Ji-Hye's English. She learnt the word 'fart'.
Throughout the entire evening, he behaved like an angel (i.e. slept), crying only once to remind me that it was close to his 9pm snack. He slept on a bed right next to the kitchen and dining room, and didn't seem bothered at all by the noise going around him. Here's to hoping this lasts till he's 14.
Presents. I have never brought so much loot home from a Christmas before. He got:
- A pillow & matching Teddy
- A soft stuffed lion
- His first baby toothbrush
- A dummy
- A pack of bodysuits (ack... One reads 'Addicted to diapers')
- A set of overalls, matching hat (fits my head!!!) and matching booties
- A cuddle rag
- His first soft book and noisy toy (not the last noisy toy I assume)
- A 'Merry Christmas Nicolas' quilt
- A T-shirt
- A set of bodysuit, matching hat and matching booties
- A Giggle & Go vehicle set
- A wind-up bath & floor
